Each year, CenterState CEO recognizes local businesses as Economic Champions for their contributions to the economic growth of the CenterState New York region through capital expenditures, hiring of new employees, expansion or relocation due to growth, and for state or national recognition.

Businesses are nominated as Economic Champions for their accomplishments by peers, employees and staff, or may nominate themselves. Whether they have added one employee or more, expanded operations at their present location or relocated, or used capital expenditures, these businesses have contributed to the economic development of the region.
